Manchester United Won Appell on Bruno Fernandes Red Card

After the game, Bruno Fernandes was speaking to newsmen and he said: “Never a red card – that is my view,” he, however, agreed that it was foul but he said it was not worth a red card, on that he said: “I agree that it is a foul.” “The referee tried to tell me that as he saw it was a clear contact with the studs. No. I didn’t touch him with the studs or even the foot, it was my ankle. It is a clear foul.” He also said: “If he wants to give me a yellow because they are going to go on a counter then I agree. But more than that, no. It is not the case.”
Manchester United’s next match is against Porto in the Europa League on Thursday as they did not make it to the Champions League before they return to league action against Aston Villa on Sunday.
